Quadcopters are one of the most versatile unmanned aerial vehicles deployed for various purposes. In this study it is going to be used as part of a system used for bird control therefore the structural integrity is investigated. The aim of the paper is to investigate the structural and aerodynamic behaviour of a quadcopter intended for bird control. A model of the drone has been developed in SolidWorks, then structural along with flow analysis carried out using ANSYS software. The structural analysis reveals a maximum stress of 39.13 MPa of the arm due to thrust and 2.6 MPa on the frame due to load which are within the safe range for use of purpose.

“…The vertical frames were anchored to the top surface of the hovercraft hull. The thrust produced by the propellers [ 29 , 30 , 31 ] was considered to be acting at the fixed support of horizontal frame and the same vertical axial loading was applied at the four corners of the horizontal frame. An axial load was applied at the tip of the frame and the effect of cushion pressure generated through the duct fan located at the center of hull was analyzed.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant attention in recent times due to their suitability for a wide variety of civil, military, and societal missions. Development of an unmanned amphibious vehicle integrating the features of a multi-rotor UAV and a hovercraft is the focus of the present study. Components and subsystems of the amphibious vehicle are developed with due consideration for aerodynamic, structural, and environmental aspects. Finite element analysis (FEA) on static thrust conditions and skirt pressure are performed to evaluate the strength of the structure. For diverse wind conditions and angles of attack (AOA), computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis is carried out to assess the effect of drag and suitable design modification is suggested. A prototype is built with a 7 kg payload capacity and successfully tested for stable operations in flight and water-borne modes. Internet of things (IoT) based water quality measurement is performed in a typical lake and water quality is measured using pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, and electrical conductivity (EC) sensors. The developed vehicle is expected to meet functional requirements of disaster missions catering to the water quality monitoring of large water bodies.

“…From the thrust calculation, it can be seen that thrust optimization on ducted propeller can occur on high rotation propeller )) rpm ( 4000 ( with an increase in thrust value of 0.27 -1.38 (N) for propeller type α and 0.73 -2.1 (N) for propeller type β and γ. From previous research, angular velocity propeller 5000 (rpm) was suitable with folded size body frame with size of 560 (mm) in square size E. Kuantama, D. Craciun, and R. Tarca [11]. With the same angular velocity, ducted propeller was analyzed to examine its effect on quadcopter as a whole.…”

Abstract-In relation to quadcopter body frame model, propeller can be categorized into propeller with ducted and without ducted. This study present differences between those two using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. Both categories utilize two blade-propeller with diameter of 406 (mm). Propeller rotation generates acceleration per time unit on the volume of air. Based on the behavior of generated air velocity, ducted propeller can be modeled into three versions. The generated thrust and performance on each model were calculated to determine the best model. The use of ducted propeller increases the total weight of quadcopter and also total thrust. The influence of this modeling were analyzed in detail with variation of angular velocity propeller from 1000 (rpm) to 9000 (rpm). Besides the distance between propeller tip and ducted barrier, the size of ducted is also an important part in thrust optimization and total weight minimization of quadcopter.
